"Come with us quietly, Rosemary. Don't argue or make a scene. Because if you say anything more about witches or witchcraft, we're gonna be forced to take you to a mental hospital." - Dr. Sapirstein

Why watch this? Watching this film is akin to slow suffocation. Our expectant mother is caught in a snare.

Plot Summary: Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse, a young couple, move into a new apartment building in New York City with a sinister history. There, they befriend their elderly and overly friendly next-door neighbors, the Castevets. After Rosemary becomes pregnant, she grows increasingly suspicious of her neighbors and her husband, believing them to be involved in a Satanic conspiracy targeting her unborn child.

Dad's Preview: This film became terrifying to me, but only after I grew up. Early on I was confused at why this woman was acting so strange around all these nice, helpful folks. How's that for naiveté? Rosemary is in the dark, too, until, clue by clue, she figures out the dreadful truth. It's an iconic film moment when we see her look at her new baby for the first time...
